Kůlna Cave, Archaeological cave in Sloup, Czech Republic.

The tunnel-shaped Kůlna Cave extends 91 meters in length, reaches 25 meters in width, and features two distinct entrance portals.

Archaeological excavations from 1961 to 1976 revealed multiple layers of human settlement, with the oldest dating back 120,000 years.

Research teams discovered Neanderthal remains, including skull fragments, an upper jaw, and three milk teeth within layer 7a of the cave.

The cave operates as part of the Sloup-Šošůvka Caves system, located 23 kilometers north of Brno in the Moravian Karst region.

During 1943-1945, the entire cave structure served as an aircraft factory under Nazi control, requiring concrete flooring throughout the space.
